WVC 46 - 7 - 104
§46-7-104. Negotiable and nonnegotiable document of title.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), a document
of title is negotiable if by its terms the goods are to be
delivered to bearer or to the order of a named person.

(b) A document of title other than one described in subsection
(a) is nonnegotiable. A bill of lading that states that the goods
are consigned to a named person is not made negotiable by a
provision that the goods are to be delivered only against an order
in a record signed by the same or another named person.

(c) A document of title is nonnegotiable if, at the time it is
issued, the document has a conspicuous legend, however expressed,
that it is nonnegotiable.
